History
Islamic College of Malaya (Malay: Kolej Islam Malaya, KIM) was founded in 1955 (1374 AH). KIM was built on a plot of land measuring approximately 14.3 acres located at Jalan Kota Raja, about half a mile from Klang.
The college originated as a palace, later donated by Sultan Hisamuddin Alam Shah Al-Haj, hoping that it would gave birth to scholars who follow Allah's guidance, illuminates the society with spirits of Islam and to eliminate every forms of injustice and ignorance.
In 1966 (1386 AH), the college moved to a new building in Petaling Jaya (the current International Islamic University Malaysia Centre for Foundation Studies) and Bangi (the current National University of Malaysia Faculty of Islamic Studies), yet still continued its preparation courses in Klang.
In 1967, the college, taken by the Ministry of Education was converted into a government-aided school known as Klang Islamic College (Malay: Kolej Islam Klang, KIK). Finally, in 1972, it was turned into a fully residential school with great facilities until today.
In 1989, KIK was renamed Sultan Alam Shah Islamic College (Malay: Kolej Islam Sultan Alam Shah, KISAS) by Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah al-Haj. Until now, the former Sultan's palace is still standing.
KISAS was recognised as a Cluster School[4][5] in 2007 and as a High-Performing School in 2010.[6]
